Bliss

English composer's name

Bliss originally referred to a state of spiritual joy or divine favor, rooted in Old English blīths, meaning gentle or kind.

In Christian theology, it often denotes the eternal happiness of heaven.

The term has evolved to describe intense earthly happiness or contentment, often fleeting.

Bliss is also used in modern wellness contexts, such as blissful meditation or finding your bliss, emphasizing inner peace or fulfillment.
